However, four months later, Leni is doing incredibly well. Chastity commuted to the hospital every day to visit her son. Day by day, she watched him grow. Now she is meeting the men who saved his life.

The speed of the paramedics and their care was key to saving Leni’s life. However, the paramedics applauded Chastity’s family for calling as quickly as possible.

“You guys did a really good job,” David Robinson, one of the paramedics, told her.

Leni is now 6 lbs., 4 oz. — quite a huge transformation for the baby born just 1 lb., 4 oz. While he is still on oxygen support, he’ll be going home very soon.

One thing is for sure: that day of heroism left an indelible mark on his mother.

“Seeing my child overcome so many obstacles — that made me a better mom, a stronger person,” she said. “Maybe he’ll be a firefighter someday.”
